Ridgeview RDF is the community waste disposal spot on Hempton Lake Road that locals use for household cleanouts and regular trash runs. People from Whitelaw and nearby towns bring everything from yard debris to packed-up junk here, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
There’s a small entrance booth where vehicles stop before entering the main yard; pull up slow and be ready to wait if there’s a line. The site feels large and somewhat industrial, with open tipping areas, piles or containers, and drive lanes wide enough for trucks and trailers. County-style recycling drop-offs are typical at facilities like this, so expect separate areas or bins for recyclables somewhere on the property. In winter the place runs differently than summer-snow, plowed lanes, and slower traffic are common, so give extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort loads ahead of time so unloading is quicker-loose stuff in one pile, bulky items in another.
- Secure loose material and cover loads for travel; wind and road splash are real issues here.
- Avoid peak times if possible: weekend mornings and spring cleanup days tend to have the longest lines.
